Band Booster Meeting Summary
For those of you that were not able to make it to the meeting on Tuesday night. Here is some information that was covered.
Band Trip 2011. The band will be going to Vancouver BC at the end of May 2011. This sounds like a wonderful trip and experience for the kids. There will be competitions and a Parade that the kids will participate in along with many other activities. The cost of the trip will be between $650-$700 per student/adult. Information about the trip was given to the students on Wednesday. If you have any questions please contact Jim or myself.
Auction...March 20th 6-8:30...please be working on securing your items. This is one of the best ways to get money into your students account to pay for the trip. We ask each family to secure at least 3 items. You can always bring many more. Please turn them in as soon as you get them, because we have the band auction website set up and want to list the items out there. Please go to www.wvbandauctions.com and check out the website. Sign up for Parents to help at the auction will be at the next booster meeting on March 16th.
Other fund raising activities...the boosters voted to do a candle sale after the Auction. Items can be sold and we will try to coordinate this around a Mothers Day theme. The candles are $10 dollars and $4.50 of that will go back into your students account for each candle sold. This is an easy way to make some money for the trip. Sell 145 candles and the trip is paid for. :-)
Many eighth grade students and parents were at the meeting to hear about the trip. It was nice to see that many eighth graders excited to be in the band!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me.
See you at the next Band Booster meeting on Tuesday March 16th at 7:00 pm.
Thanks!
Sam Roderick
Band Booster President
